well.. ok.. this is how poor teachers are. they send us with a big list of supplies and itll be like "two boxes of #2 pencils, dry eraser markers, 6 sticks of glue" and parents buy whatever and then they come in on openhouse day and dump ALL their stuff together in boxes and then it gets handed back out to the kids throughout the year. So most likely she is using the cheapest #2 pencil some other parent could find.
oh and we got a bunch of free pencils at this back to school function at some church i dont attend.
i bought her an art set for christmas but kids being kids.. she doesnt use the professional art supplies i bought her.. the following picture she drew with supplies from the art kit.
